Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast
Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point on Grand Turk, and Grace Bay on Providenciales. Today at Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 6:26 AM and sets at 7:20 PM, with the moon 8% lit. Skies turn clearer late tonight in parts of the country, so early evening stargazers may catch bright Venus low in the west after sunset.
Friday brings warm, breezy trade-wind weather across the islands. Before sunrise, Mudjin Harbour and Grace Bay stay mostly cloudy near 83F with humidity around 82% to 84%, feeling like 90F to 94F, easterly winds 17 to 21 MPH, and 4 to 5 foot seas, while Boaby Rock Point is the rougher outpost with 21 to 22 MPH winds and 5 to 6 foot waves under thick cloud. By late morning and afternoon, clouds break fast in Mudjin and Grace Bay with sunshine, temperatures rising to 84F to 87F in Mudjin and near 84F to 85F in Grace Bay, and with the humidity it will feel like 94F to 102F. Rain stays so light it should barely show. Dinner time looks fair for outdoor tables, with easterly winds near 18 to 22 MPH, waves 5 feet in Mudjin and Grace Bay, and 6 feet off Grand Turk. Grand Turk stays windier and rougher than the country average all day.
Saturday stays bright and more settled. Morning starts around 84F at all three stops, with humidity near 81% to 82%, feeling like 94F to 95F, east winds 17 to 21 MPH, and seas 4 to 6 feet. Through midday and afternoon, skies turn mostly sunny to clear, especially at Grace Bay and Grand Turk, with temperatures 84F to 86F and in Mudjin up to 87F; with the humidity it will feel like 95F to 101F. Little to no visible rain is expected, so boaters, beach crews, and sunset diners get a fine-looking day, though trades still stay lively. Grand Turk again runs a bit windier with 5 to 6 foot seas, while Mudjin and Grace Bay hover closer to 4 to 5 feet.
